Tubes, Tightropes & Tasty Treats

Last Friday, Liam had his ear tubes placed and adenoid removed.  Dr. Geghan said his adenoid was pretty large so hopefully having it removed will give him some much needed relief.  Liam had a pretty tough time coming around from the anesthesia but eventually calmed down once we were home for a bit.  That part made me feel pretty helpless because all I could do was try to rock him & hold him.  He slept through the night and by Saturday morning he was a pretty happy camper.  We'll find out about the allergy test in a couple weeks and he'll go in for a re-check next month.

Sunday, Tripp and I had a Mommy/Son outing to the circus in Columbia.  It was perfect timing because I think he was feeling a little left out with all the extra attention Liam has been getting.  We grabbed some lunch with Pepa and Grammy, then headed to the circus early so that we could go down on the floor for the pre-show.  Tripp got to see the performers & animals up close, which was really neat...minus the creepy clowns!!  I am not a big fan ever since watching Stephen King's "IT" when I was younger.  Anyway.  Tripp did some dancing, got to dress up in circus outfits and wear a big red clown nose.  It was a great time and according to Tripp the circus was "AWESOME!"


Monday, I made Spinach Rice Frittata and homemade Whole Wheat Apple Muffins....YUMMY!!!  I was really impressed with how both of these recipes turned out.  I did however make a couple modifications.  I used creole seasoning instead of the garlic, salt & pepper in the the frittata.  And I only had a 1/4 TBSP of cinnamon left so I substituted the remainder of the TBSP with allspice in the muffins.  Here are the recipes:
